They went inside and took the baskets and

They had little talk and then 1 went

HAWAIIAN ISLANDS,
CITY OF RoNoLrLr.


John S. Walker, being duly sworn. deposes
and says: | am the AuditoT-Ieneral OF tue
Hawaiian Kingdom, having an Office III Aiii-
olani Hale, opposite the Palace. Sometime
in December 1856, some Chinese came to me
about the opium license, on behalf of hwong
Sam heo Company. They were very anXiOns
that | should assist in getting 1t. L told
them that l had nothing to say about the
granting OF the license, and was very much
opposed TO it IN any case. They persisted,
and were anxious that l should lay the mat
ter before the King, and offered $4,000 for
the license. l advised them to leave the
matter alone, and they went of. Shortly
after this I wrote to the King that Kwong
sam Kee Company wanted the license, and
offered $4,000 for it. 1 was amazed at the
figures, and wrote the letter more in joke
than anything else. Having heard that it is
said that l guaranteed that sum, hereby
explicitly and positively deny that.

VOLCANO IN THE SIERRA MADRE
The Report Of 1rn. cller just Arrived
at Tombstone Arizona

TOMBSTONE, ARIZONA, June g.
Senor Campo, who has just arrived
from Nacosari, states that authentic
news has reached Oposura that at the
time Of the first earthquake q volcano
broke out on the chihuahua side Of
the Sierra Madre Mountains, near
Piedras Verdes, about thirty miles
west Of Casas Grandes. Different
parties, numbering thirty persons in
all, have gone from Casas Grandes
to inspect the volcano, but owing to
the intense heat they have been un.
able to approach nearer than within
three miles of the mass of molten
lava, which pours down the mountain
side, and which is estimated to ex.
tend fully ten miles from the crater
of the volcano. Volumes Of smoke
by day and the glare by night from
the burning modntsin are visible for
long distance. Governor Torres,
Of Sonora, has directed that a party
be sent from Oposura to inspect and
report upon the phenomenon.
A slight shock of earthquake was
felt here on Monday and another at
2 o'clock Tuesday morning.

No More Whiskey ard Cigars at the En-
pense of the Government

WASHINGTON, June 1.-Comptrol
ler Butler, Of the treasury depart
ment, in auditing the accounts of tue
superintendent Of the Naval Acade-
nv, has disallowed all items of ex-
penditure for whiskey, brandy and
other Intoxicating liquors furnished
to members Of the annual board Of
visitors. This disallowance will be
hardship to the superintendent, who
has been required by the board of
visitors to furnish these luxuries, and
who will have to suffer loss of
from $500 to $500 on last years
accounts if Congress does not come
to his relief. Officials of both the
Naval Academy and the Military
ACADEMY ave ueen notified that
no such items in future Will be al
lowed. 1t has also been decided by
the auditing officers of the treasury
department tbs; tie law creating the
board of visitors and providing for
the payment of their expenses by the
Government, does not contemplate
nor admit of their taking their fam
lilies except at their own expense.

Ex-Coafederates as Judges.
New York Star.

Some very silly Republican jour.
nails in the rural districts have been
raising the cry against "the ap-
pointment Of an ex.Confederate to
the Supreme Court" 1t is not, how
ever, the Confederate record of law
yers that is Objectionable to these
critics. Their real complaint is
against the Democracy of candidates.
Republican Presidents have wisely
disregsrded this srebel yell.' We
have on the bench Of the United
States courts, in the Western dis.
tricts of Louisiana, Judge Boarman;
in the Western district Of North
Carolina, Judge Dick; in the West
ern district of Florida, Judge Settle;
in the Southern district of Georgia,
Judge Spear; in the Eastern and Mid
die districts of Tennessee, Judge
Key, and in the Western district of
the same State, Judge Hammond, all
of whom were Confederate soldiers.
1t is too late for any one to raise
the objection Of service in the Con-
federate army against q proposed
United States appointment. In all
branches of the federal service
Southerners who took part with their
section in the war are doing loyal
and excellent work. 1t has been 80
since Lincoln's time, and it is as
tonishing that partisanship should at
this late day bind men so completely
as to permit them to assume posi-
tion so utterly ridiculous.

Columbia Thinking Of a Cotton Mill
Noes md Courier.

COLUMBIA, June 2.-Many thou.
sand Carolinians have doubtless
wondered before now why Columbia,
while waiting for State aid to the
Canal, did not apply herself as
Greenville and other cities have done
to Immediate work in the establish.
ment of factories. Because We will
have q superb water power when it
is developed, We need not make up
our mind to do nothing until the ca
nal is completed. There are not
lacking persons, even here, who think
that the canal has been curse to
the city, and that but for its prospect
i've and long postponed completion,
we would now have several fine steam
mills in Columbia. We have ad-
journed every large factory project
until the water power could, be OBJ
tanned, while nalf a dozen counties
have built and successfully operated
mills to be run by steam power. Let
US hope that Columbia is about to
change her methods; to do something
for herself; to show that she deserves
prosperity; to prove that is not she
to be killed by three.for.a.quarter
Legislation.
Mr.. George K. Wright, one of the
most enterprising business men in the
city, has started movement~to~ es.
tablish cotton mill here. It is pro.
posed that the mill shall be built on
good site on the canal band and be
driven by steam, the motive power
to be changed when water power can
be obtained. The capital stock will
be 5000 shares of $50 each, and may
be increased to 10000 shares, Sub.
scriptions will be payable in 10 per
cent. monthly instalments. Lists
may be found at Mr.. Wright's Office,
and he will make q personal canvas
for subscriptions. 1t is expected
that at least s125,OOO will be sub.
scribed in Columbia. If our Owl
people take majority of the stock
there will be no difficulty in placing
the remainder elsewhere. The site
will be secured at a strictly cash
price, and will be paid for either in
stock at par or money. The enter
prise will be in competent hands
Let US see what Columbia will do-tc
help herself. ..-.. .... -

C0!umbIa's Way of Building a Cotton
Mill.
Special to Neacs aid Courier,

Special TO Neacs aid Courier,
COLUMBIA, June 3.-The proposed
establishment Of a cotton mill in
Columbia is heartily endorsed by
every one in the city who has been
spoken to on tie subject, but the
Columbia people are hard to move
and it requires considerable pressure
to make them put their hands into
their pockets. Quite a number of
business men are willing to take from
ten to fifty shares after the mill is
built, the machinery put up and
dividend of 10 per cent. is being
made. This is not the kind of spirit
that will build the mill, but it is the
sort which will keep the city at
standstill. The establishment of this
mill is the idea Of Mr.. Geo. K.
Wright, and he will do all that
one man can do to get enough money
subscribed; hut he cannot be ex.
pected to accomplish the work alone.
TO raise such subscription in COL
umbia is a large undertaking, and
can only be achieved by the co.ope-
ration of every one who is interested
in the progress of the city.
Mr.. Wright is confident that this
enterprise will be success if proper
ly managed, and to have mill so
| managed be believes that mans war
! record or high family connections
should not be considered in connec-
tion with its superintendency. Sew
eral failures in Columbia and in the
State in recent years can be we'll at.
trlbuted to bad management.

other bears to the south at Glenn's
and goes down through Cross An
